Orbit

(Yeah…) Late nights got your name on my mind,

Everything

slow like the world’s on rewind.

{warm electric piano chords,

subtle vinyl hiss} Walk past,

swear the room got quieter,

Everybody fade like they turned the lights lower.

I don’t even know what I’d say to you,

So I build conversations in the ride home.

Headphones on, but your voice cut through,

Like a melody I never got to write down.

Funny how a stranger feel familiar,

Like I’ve seen your soul before this town.

{muffled rimshot groove kicks in} Maybe I’m reaching,

maybe I’m dreaming,

Still I let the feeling stay.

If this is all in my imagination,

Why’s it feel this real every day?

{beat drops out, warm synth swell} You got me floating in your

orbit, Gravity ain’t working right.

Every little glance got me weightless,

Keeping me awake at night.

I don’t need forever right now,

Just a chance to know your name.

If love starts with a little spark,

Then maybe that’s this flame.

{groove drops back in,

full beat} I play it cool but my thoughts don’t cooperate,

Heart on mute, but my head always commentate.

Telling me, “Shoot your shot,” then I hesitate,

Writing songs ‘cause it’s easier than saying it face to face.

Funny how courage disappear in the daylight,

But at two in the morning,

I’m feeling like I could change lives.

Maybe you laugh, maybe you

walk away, Maybe you smile and

make my whole week feel okay.

I ain’t chasing a fantasy painted in gold,

Just hoping what’s real could be something we both hold.

{rhythmic rap flow, crisp rimshot groove} Maybe one day we laugh about

this, How I turned small moments into whole galaxies.

Until then, I’ll let the music keep the secret.

{beat drops out, isolated Rhodes chords} You got me floating in your

orbit,

Everything else out of frame.

Maybe you don’t know my story,

Maybe you’ll remember my name.

I’ll keep dancing with the daylight,

Dreaming while the records play.

If this feeling finds you

somehow, Maybe you’ll feel the same.
